What's really going on
The chapter keeps testing Neal's new philosophy that nothing is a coincidence. Susan appears at the exact moment the car is low on gas and money, and Grant says so out loud: "You need money. She shows up." But the scene also gives her a real, ordinary grief. Her son is sixteen, she is alone, and she is terrified of never finding him — "It's not like I've been a bad mother." Banton then introduces the film's sharper satire: a town where an addictive drug called Euphoria is legal, advertised at the border, and peddled at a rave. The road keeps handing Neal exactly what he needs to see.
Theme
ParenthoodSusan's fear for her runaway son shows a mother with nothing left but the need to find him.
TrustNeal takes a stranger at her word, choosing to help rather than keep Grant's ironic distance.

このシーンについての質問
Why does Susan stop Neal and Grant?
Her son Philip stole her car and ran off to Banton. With only fifty-three dollars, she needs a ride to go and find him.
Why does Grant call Susan's arrival a coincidence?
He does not believe in coincidence. She appears the moment they need money, so to him it is fate, or the road, supplying exactly what is required.
What does "in tune with" mean?
It means to be in harmony or sync with something. Grant tells Neal he is getting in tune with the highway, meaning he is learning how the road works.
What is Euphoria?
A drug legal inside Banton but illegal to take beyond the city limits. The public warning calls it highly addictive and dangerous to withdraw from.
Where does Susan think her son is?
In Banton, where the police told her to look. The town turns out to be a place built around the legal drug and a rave, not a place for a sixteen-year-old to be found safely.
